The Observer knew hat a major ity of the honest voters and tax payers wero opposed to the amend ment, and knew that it would not the Democratic machine aaseaoca ev ery business man in some towns for camjlgn purpose, whether he la a Democrat, Populist, or Republican. They do it under threat, that If they do not pay the aawaament they will ostracise them and Injure their bus iness -will not let them run their business. Now, if this be true, and we know the machine is desperate enough to do such thing, this goes to show the business of the country what may be expected if the machine gets en trenched in power. The business interest of the State will be at the mercy of a heartless gang of pie hunters. They will de mand money to pay the politicians to run around over the country to cuss out white farmers and call them and their children negroes, because they do not willingly swallow ev erything these city dudes too fre quently so may want to say. We have heard of men having their business ruined because they claimed the right to vote as they pleased. If this is so now, what will it be when Simmons gets ful control. FXDERAX IS TUtFXBZXCZ.

During the trial of the Demo cratic Registrars at Winston, Col Argo, of Raleigh, in a speech for the defence turned to Major John W.Graham, who was an attorney for the prosecution, and said: "Ma jor, you are a Democrat, but I have never yet heard of your Faying how you intended to vote on this amend ment." At once, Major Graham spoke up and said: "Do you want to know now?" Col. Argo replied, "Yes do." Major Graham then answered as follows: "I shall vote against it because I believe it is in contraven tion of the Coastitution of the Uni ted States and will therefore not support it." Col. Argo's only reply was, "You have the courage of your convictions, I know, Major." f How many Democratic lawyers are there in the State who are sup porting this amendment who have not the courage of their convictions, in whom the desire for office is greater than their regard for the Constitution of the United States and their oath to support it? words to tbattffjct.

It shows weakness on the Democratic side. It was simply calling for the "calf rope.' It slan ders the State and the religion of the State. It would make people abroad think that the Populists and the Republicans of the State were scoundrels and cut throats The truth is, nine-tenths of them are church members in good stand ing in our varioug churches. They are such citizens as the churches prepare an seek after. The truth is, the Observer has exhausted Its last cord, ard has to resort to its; old savior, and hence yells: "Savfe. us, nie-ger, or we perish ! No one In the State need believe a word of It.
